CINEMASTERS: PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON

Celebrating the release of his latest film Phantom Thread (showing 2 – 21 February, p21), GFT is delighted to bring the majority of Paul Thomas Anderson’s films back to the big screen – all on 35mm. A filmmaker who refuses to be pigeonholed, Anderson’s films traverse the sprawling and the intimate with tales of hope and despair, loss and love, comedy and severity, with the only familiar element their ability to captivate and evoke. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available.

Boogie Nights

Sunday 7 (13.00) & Tuesday 9 January (19.50) Set during disco’s 1970s heyday, PT Anderson’s breakthrough sophomore feature follows Eddie Adams, a 17-year-old busboy who is spotted by veteran porn director Jack Horner. Horner rechristens Eddie ‘Dirk Diggler’ and makes him a star of adult cinema. Enjoying his new-found fame and a hedonistic lifestyle to match, Eddie is little prepared for the changes in the porn industry that are to come with the arrival of the 1980s and the rise of video tape. Director Paul Thomas Anderson Cast Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, USA 1997, 2h35m, 18

Punch-Drunk Love

Sunday 14 (13.45) & Tuesday 16 January (20.40) Shifting gears from his more sprawling works, PT Anderson’s 2002 character drama drew Punch-Drunk Love an unlikely career-best performance from Adam Sandler as beleaguered small business-owner Barry Egan. Barry’s lonely life is shaken up when he falls for one of his sister’s co-workers (Emily Watson), but the romance is threatened when he falls victim to extortion from a crooked mattress salesman running a phone sex line. Touching and genuinely funny, this is a wholly unique addition to the careers of both Anderson and Sandler. Preceded by PT Anderson’s recent short Haim: Valentine (2017, 14m), screening on 35mm. Director Paul Thomas Anderson Cast Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, USA 2002, 1h31m, 15

Magnolia

Sunday 21 (13.00) & Tuesday 23 January (19.20) An ambitious urban mosaic set within 24 hours in contemporary LA, Magnolia presents a formidable cast of characters who find themselves in a dazzling multiplicity of plots that nonetheless all take place within the one story. Alternating between a dying father, a male caretaker, a famous lost son, a police officer in love, a boy genius, an ex-boy genius, a game show host and an estranged daughter, Paul Thomas Anderson weaves an epic sprawl into an impressively focused tale of happiness, forgiveness and meaning. Director Paul Thomas Anderson Cast Tom Cruise, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, USA 1999, 3h8m, 18

There Will Be Blood

Sun 28 (13.15) & Tue 30 Jan (19.45) Silver miner Daniel Plainview (Daniel DayLewis) leads a hardscrabble life with his son, H.W. When he hears about oil oozing from the ground near the Western town of Little Boston, Daniel takes his son on a mission to find their fortune. Daniel makes his lucky strike and becomes a self-made tycoon but, as his fortune grows, he deviates into moral bankruptcy. Oscar-winning cinematography from Robert Elswitt, Johnny Greenwood’s searing score and a towering performance from Day-Lewis make this an unforgettable cinema experience. Director Paul Thomas Anderson Cast Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Ciaran Hinds, USA 2007, 2h38m, 15

Inherent Vice

Sun 11 (13.00) & Tue 13 February (19.55) Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s noir novel cast Joaquin Phoenix as Larry ‘Doc’ Sportello, a laid-back Los Angeles private detective who exists comfortably in the ‘70s hippy culture of the time. When an ex-flame turns up on his doorstep one day looking for his help, Doc is drawn into a confounding web of lies, violence and dentistry. Something of a departure for Anderson, Inherent Vice showcases the director’s more comedic side whilst retaining his powerful characterisation and ability to authentically evoke a time and place. Preceded by PT Anderson’s short Radiohead: Daydreaming (2016, 7m), screening on 35mm. Director Paul Thomas Anderson Cast Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Josh Brolin, USA 2014, 2h28m, 15

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Friday 12 January - Thursday 1 February A darkly comic drama with hidden depths, Three Billboards is the third film by Oscar-winning director Martin McDonagh (In Bruges). Months have passed without an arrest for the brutal murder of Mildred Hayes’ (Frances McDormand) daughter. Mildred makes a bold move, buying three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Woody Harrelson), the town’s revered chief of police. When Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell) gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s law enforcement intensifies. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available. Director Martin McDonagh Cast Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, UK/USA 2017, 1h55m, 15

Rey

Monday 15 - Thursday 18 January A bold combination of film formats are brought together in this enjoyable avant-garde feature. In the nineteenth century, a French adventurer sets off to establish a kingdom in the inhospitable South of Chile, uniting the feared Mapuche under him. The response of the Chilean army is devastating. Rey is both an intricately designed adventure film as well as powerful textural experiment. Director Niles Atallah Cast Rodrigo Lisboa, Claudio Riveros, Chile/France 2017, 1h31m, subtitles, 12A: moderate grisly images

Dolores

Friday 12 - Sunday 14 January Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labour justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century—and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother of eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to social change.

Phantom Thread

Friday 2 - Wednesday 21 February Master filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson ( There Will Be Blood) reteams with Oscar-winning leading man Daniel Day-Lewis, for what is reportedly the actor’s final film. In 1950’s post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville) are dressing royalty, movie stars, and more with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he meets a young, strong-willed woman named Alma (Vicky Krieps). Anderson paints an illuminating portrait both of an obsessive artist on a creative journey, and the disruptive power of love. CineMasters: Paul Thomas Anderson, see p17-18.

Lover for a Day L’amant d’un jour

Completing a trilogy of sorts alongside Jealousy and In The Shadow of Women, the narrative tells of a father whose 23-year-old daughter returns home heartbroken, and of the father’s new girlfriend who is also 23 and lives with him. The scene is set for a platonic ménage à trois as the characters dance around their foibles and dysfunctions.

Until, after witnessing one of their fights, Alyosha disappears. A complex portrait of a selfish society obsessed with status, Zvyagintsev’s film is a scathing critique of modern Russia.

A Woman’s Life Une vie

Friday 2 - Sunday 4 February Adapting the novel by Guy de Maupassant, director Stéphane Brizé (The Measure of a Man) tells the story of Jeanne du Perthuis des Vauds. Following her life between the ages of 18 and 45 in the early 19th century, A Woman’s Life illustrates a hypersensitive woman, overly sheltered and struggling to face the harsh reality of the world. In this haunting, carefully constructed story, Brizé uses stunning cinematography to portray Jeanne’s tormented existence. Director Stéphane Brizé Cast Judith Chemla, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Yolande Moreau, France/Belgium 2017, 1h59m, 12A: moderate sex, brief gory images

Glory Slava

Winner of Best International Feature Film at Edinburgh International Film Festival 2017, Glory is a sharply executed drama with just the right amount of dark humour.

The Mercy

The Nothing Factory A Fábrica de Nada

Friday 9 - Thursday 15 February Based on a remarkable true story, The Mercy centres on amateur yachtsman and failing inventor Donald Crowhurst (Colin Firth). In 1968 Crowhurst entered the Golden Globe round the world race, in a boat of his own design. He wagered everything upon success, including his family’s security and his reputation. What happened next is an incredible story of a man alone at sea, battling the elements and his own demons. Director James Marsh (Man on Wire, The Theory of Everything) has crafted an intense and moving film, featuring superb performances and a savage beauty.

Tuesday 6 - Thursday 8 February Portuguese director Pedro Pinho and a largely non-professional cast face up to the economic crisis with guts, humour and even the occasional song. In a Lisbon lift factory, the workforce is embroiled in a bitter labour dispute. The workers confront impending unemployment with a determination to stay put. Drawing comparisons with Miguel Gomes’ Arabian Nights trilogy, The Nothing Factory is a lively, impassioned call to question "what next?", with impromptu musical interludes from a punk band headed up by worker Zé (José Smith Vargas).

SOUND & VISION

The Groove Is Not Trivial + Q&A

Sunday 28 January (16.30) The Groove Is Not Trivial follows expert fiddler Alasdair Fraser’s personal journey in search of self-expression, a quest that has led him to dig deep into his Scottish musical roots. There he finds a universal pulse — a groove — that runs through his virtuosic performances with cellist Natalie Haas, and his dynamic teaching at his wildly popular, freewheeling fiddle camps in California, Scotland, and Spain. At his gatherings around the world for musicians of all ages and abilities, ‘the groove’ is a through-line from the past that sparks hopeful possibilities for the future. Followed by a Q&A with Alasdair Fraser. Directors Bob Elfstrom, Michael Anderson, Michael Lutman, USA/UK/Spain 2016, 1h2m, N/C 8+

FOKUS: FILMS FROM GERMANY

The Fokus Film Festival, now in its third year, is a partnership between Goethe-Institut and Filmhouse. The festival aims to present a diverse and engaging selection of recent German cinema, covering a range of themes and genres. This year's festival introduces debates and discourses from Germany's past and present to modern-day audiences across Scotland, with documentaries, features and rare screenings of Werner Herzog's very first films.

Signs of Life + Herakles Lebenszeichen + Herakles

Wednesday 3 January (18.15) Werner Herzogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rarely-seen debut feature, made when he was just 26, follows Stroszek, a wounded German paratrooper in WWII who is sent to recuperate on the quiet island of Kos with his wife Nora and two other soldiers. Billeted in a decaying fortress, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little to do, and slowly, in the heat and torpor, Stroszek goes mad. Preceded by 12-minute Herzog short Herakles, which connects archival footage of the Le Mans racing accident with images of German bodybuilders. Signs of Life / Director Werner Herzog Cast Peter Brogle, Wolfgang Reichmann, Athina Zacharopoulou, West Germany 1968, 1h31m, subtitles, N/C 15+

But will Johnny recognise her? And what of the terrible rumours that it was Johnny himself who betrayed her to the Nazis?

Marija

Wednesday 17 January (17.40) Swiss director Michael Koch’s striking debut couldn’t be more urgent or relevant to the mood of modern Europe. Marija (Margarita Breitkreiz) is a vulnerable Ukrainian migrant worker in Dortmund. She projects an aura of strength, determination and resolve. She knows what she wants but first she has to make money, steer clear of the law and avoid exploitation. Breitkreiz will win your heart with her steely, implacable performance as an outsider struggling to claim her place in Europe’s promised land. GFF17 Director Michael Koch Cast Margarita Breitkreiz, Georg Friedrich, Sahin Eryilmaz, Germany/Switzerland 2016, 1h40m, subtitles, N/C 15+

Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe Vor der Morgenröte

The two women couldn't be more different, but each is trapped in the past, and must learn to find liberation from guilt and the burden of memory.

Wednesday 31 January (18.00) Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe dramatises the life of the Austrian-Jewish writer Zweig, one the most translated German-speaking writers of his era, during his exile from 1936 to 1942. Driven to emigrate at the peak of his fame, Zweig’s exile takes him to Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, New York, and Petrópolis, but none of his stopping places help him to find peace or to replace his true home.
